When this first started happening, I noticed it first in a spreadsheet using the Yahoo! feed. I have trailing stops on nearly everything, and as you might imagine, the boards were lighting up with red! I selected all and did a cancel of all trailing stops. Unfortunately, my previous stop data was wiped out.

After installing the upgrade, and after market close, I went back and opened my July 15 backup, made sure the trailing stops were displayed (percent and highest value), then printed those. Then opened the current portfolio, and at least it was fairly easy to re-enter all the stop info.

Not sure if Anatoly or Yermo wrote/support the Trailing Stop extension (?), but doing so many at once made me want to be able to tab to the high value and be able to key over it -- reeeaaaalllyyy wanted to be able to do that (instead, have to highlight it with the mouse before typing.) Also, it was interesting to note that the alert action was picked up from before, although the cancel had wiped out all the percentages and high values. I also wished I could set my own default percentage and action. I don't think there's a way to change the default of 20 and the action of beep?

Oh, and while I'm making a wish list -- when 'beep' is used, it keeps recurring, but there's no way to zoom in to the alert that's beeping! I can open the active alerts panel, but I don't think that shows what alert is being used, does it? Haven't used it for a while, so I may be mistaken. Having had this happen, I simply use color highlighting, and forget about the beeps, flash, bring forward.
